  • We use the term “new media” to describe a media ecology where more traditional media, such as books, television, and radio, are “converging” with digital media, specifically interactive media and media for social communication.In contrast to work that attempts to isolate the specific affordances of digital production tools or online networks, we are interested in the media ecology that youth inhabit today. We have used the term “new media” rather than terms such as “digital media” or “interactive media” because we are examining a constellation of changes to media technology that can't be reduced to a single technical characteristic. Current media ecologies often rely on a convergence of digital and online media with print, analog, and non-interactive media types.

We instead view writing as a process of discovering meaning or knowledge, not as simply a way to present it. Our view sees writing not merely for its conveyance properties, but for its communicative properties: Writing is not a container. Writing teachers and researchers, generally, hold to a broader view of writing—a view in which the technological changes in production and distribution matter a great deal. Even the most "traditional" teachers of writing who are engaged in the field of rhetoric and composition adopt what we suggest is a rhetorical viewpoint. But what does this mean?

By integrating the core principles of the writing workshop with those surrounding emerging technologies for writing, this book connects the writing workshop approach with the integration of newer technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networks, podcasts, and digital stories. By discussing these technologies through the framework of the five principles of the writing workshop noted previously—allowing for student choice, encouraging active revision, studying author’s craft, publishing beyond the classroom, and broadening our understandings of assessment—I intend to place digital writing tools in a context that those of us familiar with the writing workshop approach can understand and apply them to create better writers.
